Nerve

(Insanity team member looking for access to Nerve? Sign onto the Intranet!)

Nerve is Insanity Radio’s music library and ingest system. It allows Insanity’s team to upload tracks and, if the automated system deems necessary, require compliance screening before they can be played on air.

This can provide an additional safety net, especially in some community and student stations where no prior experience is necessary.

Nerve is available for free on GitHub. The only catch is that it’s a bit of a pain to set-up and configure. Importing tracks is a little bit difficult unless you can code. This will be simplified in future editions, hopefully! All the branding is currently Insanity specific, but this is also on the to-do list.

How it Works

Nerve is written in Ruby (Sinatra), Angular2/TypeScript and uses Redis and MySQL.
